    Is is possible to buy prepaid credit for surfing the net on my iPad without having to tie myself into a long term deal or have to buy 'x' amount of credit per month?

    If so could someone post me in the right direction?

    Many thanks.

    the only way i see is to get a prepay micro sim and say its for an iphone and top it up in phone and just use it in the ipad, emobile, o2 and vodafone charge 99c per day for upto 50mb. meteor charge 69c per day for upto 50mb

    remember though that it doesnt matter if you just check an email, any internet use will incur the standard charge for 50mb with each network

    So do I only get charged on a day that I use the sim?

    For instance if I have the sim for 30 days but only use it on 5 days does it cost me 5 x 69c with meteor?

    yes, if you get a prepay iphone sim
    don't mention an ipad at all when you're getting it

    I use the 3 payg. It's a €5 for 500mb for 30 days. You can pay more and get more.

    It's basicly an add on. So you top your sim up. Then add the "add on"

    I find this the cheapest and best option for me.

    It has been discussed Here Before. But Handy to talk about it again. If a better option has come up.
